BoundaryReview
Test stated limits against practice, and enforce or restate them where the two disagree
Definition
Mechanism
Stated limits, such as a Constraint, a policy boundary or a budget cap, are tested against practice on a schedule by sampling cases near the boundary. Where practice and statement disagree, the limit is either enforced as stated or restated to match what is intended.
Invariants
- Limits are tested against sampled cases near the boundary on a stated schedule.
- Each disagreement between practice and statement ends in enforcement or a restatement.
Risks
Failure modes
Paper limit
the limit is stated and routinely crossed.
Silent restatement
practice redefines the limit without anyone deciding it.
